Volume 18 Chapter 234 Wrong Person?
Chapter 234 Wrong person?
"It's strange, why hasn't Vina come out yet?" Looking at the silent cemetery around us, we looked around in confusion for a long time, but there was no sign of Vina breaking out of the ground. In the end, Yinxue reacted faster. "Didn't Purple *** summon a creature? Release it to help find it. Her name should be on the tombstone where Wei Na is."
"That's right." I snapped my fingers, and a large group of death guards suddenly appeared around me. "Go and check the writing on the tomb to see if there is anyone named Vina."
The death guards didn't even reply, and immediately turned around and started looking for each other separately. With a large number of people, speed naturally increases. In less than twenty seconds, a Death Guard reported that he had found Vina's grave. In fact, the tomb where Wei Na is located is not far from us, probably only about ten meters apart. When we ran over, we saw Wei Na's name on the tombstone, but the strange thing was that the grave bag behind the tombstone was not moving at all.
"It's strange, why doesn't Vina come out?" Peacock Pluto asked in confusion as he looked at the intact grave bag.
Yinxue said: "No matter what the reason is, dig her out first."
I nodded and asked them to step back a little, then stretched out my hand to summon Lucky. Although giant dragons generally don't dig holes, those huge dragon claws don't grow in vain. He slapped the earth bag that was higher than the ground and flew it away. Then when he lowered his claws, there was a big hole on the ground. Because he was afraid of hurting Vina below, Lucky began to dig carefully, but even so, it only took a few minutes to dig out the coffin.
After clearing away the blocking soil outside the coffin, Lucky used two claws to carefully buckle the coffin up. However, his claws had just lifted the coffin when something felt wrong. "Huh? Why are you so light?"
"Light?" When I heard Lucky's words, I suddenly thought of a bad situation. Before Lucky put the coffin on the ground, I stepped on Lucky's paw, and then lifted the lid of the coffin. "Holy shit, what's going on?"
"What's the matter?" Yinxue and Peacock Pluto asked as they flew to my side, and were dumbfounded when they saw the situation inside the coffin.
Although we were sealed in coffins before, there was only one empty coffin among those coffins except for us. But thinking about it the other way around, since our names are written on the tombstone, it is normal that we are the only ones in the coffin. But now Wei Na's coffin is different. Although it is true that the tombstone says Vina, when we opened the coffin lid, what we saw was not an empty coffin, and there was no Vina in it, at least not a living Vina.
There was a skeleton lying in the coffin that was supposed to contain Vina. Based on my understanding of the human body's structure, this should be the skeleton of a woman. As for whether it was Vina's bones, I couldn't tell. However, it is true that the living Vina is not in the coffin.
"What the hell, where are the people?" Looking at the empty coffin with only a pair of bones left, Yinxue and I looked at each other, completely confused about the situation.
"that……"
Just when we were confused, the guy who was almost trampled to death by me suddenly raised a trembling hand and whispered two words in a small voice.
Suddenly seeing that guy seemed to want to speak, the three of us all focused our attention. After the previous "stampede incident" and hearing Yinxue's explanation, the guy had so many summoned creatures nearby. Under the threat, he finally realized his actual status, so this guy's attitude immediately made a 180-degree U-turn.
"What are you going to say?" Seeing the guy's unwillingness to speak, I couldn't help but ask.
After hearing my active inquiry, he quickly pointed to a tomb not far away without a tombstone and said: "That... the companions of the three great gods may be in there."
The three of us followed his fingers to the empty tomb over there, and then turned back to him with a little surprise and asked, "How did you know?"
"As you all know, we are connected by contract." At this point, the guy quickly explained: "Of course, this small contract is definitely invalid for you. I just want to tell you that because the contract exists, I I can confirm the location of several people anytime and anywhere. Just like now, I can clearly feel that a contract connection extends to that tomb."
Before the guy could continue talking, we had already reached the empty tomb. This time, I didn't need to give any orders. Lucky just pulled open the soil on the tomb and lifted the coffin out.
The first person to notice something was wrong was Lucky, because he could feel that the weight of the empty coffin was wrong. This time, as soon as he held the coffin, he immediately said: "There is someone inside."
As if in response to his words, as soon as he heard Lucky's voice, there was a knocking sound inside the coffin. "Help! Is anyone outside? Get me out quickly, I'm suffocating!"
"Lucky."
Before I could finish speaking, Lucky tore the coffin apart like an eggshell, and the person in the coffin also fell to the ground. But after seeing that person, we were all dumbfounded.
"Nightchild? Why are you? Where is Vina?"
That's right, the person who fell out of the coffin was not Vina, but the child of the night. Now I finally understood why no one came out after the mission started. The Son of the Night is different from us. This kid is a necromancer. He does not have the destructive power like us, so he cannot blast through the wooden boards and thick soil on the roof. Of course, the Son of the Night can teleport, but there is a problem with his teleportation, that is, he cannot teleport too far at a time, and it is difficult to complete teleportation in invisible places. He was sealed in the deep mud just now, and he had no idea what was going on outside, so naturally he couldn't teleport randomly.
"Cough cough cough..." After the child of the night came out, he coughed violently, and it took him a long time to catch his breath. "Phew, I almost choked to death!"
"Hey, why did you run in here? Where's Vina?" Peacock Pluto stepped forward and grabbed Night's shoulders, lifting him up from the ground like a jar.
The Son of the Night seemed to have just realized that the position he was in was not right. After looking around, he exclaimed: "Oh, it turns out that I fell into the mission space!"
"What do you mean by falling in?"
"It literally means that it fell in."
After some explanations by the guy from Night, we finally figured out the situation after we entered. Well, it should be the situation after Yinxue entered.
It's actually very simple. First, Peacock Pluto and I entered the mission space inside the Gate of Truth, and then Yinxue followed. Originally, Wei Na should have entered the mission space after this. However, at this time, the Son of the Night happened to come to Wei Na because of something, so he happened to bump into him at the moment when the Son of the Night appeared and knocked him to the ground. Inside the space door.
That's right, it's from ***. After this kid, the Son of the Night, failed to find Vina in the Temple of Chaos and Order, he heard that she came to the Tower of Truth with me, and then he chased after her. However, because he was in a hurry, he did not leave the door, but teleported directly to Tower. Because he had been to the Tower of Truth before, he probably knew the structure near the Gate of Truth. Therefore, he was not afraid of getting stuck in the wall of the Tower of Truth. As a result, he teleported himself to the Truth very accurately. in front of the door. However, the moment he appeared, Weina was about to enter the door, but unprepared, Weina bumped into the sudden appearance of the Night Child. Although the Son of the Night is a man, Vina is a goddess, and no matter how strong a man is, he cannot withstand the impact of the goddess. So...so this pitiful traffic accident blocked the Door of Truth to the Son of Night, and the Door of Truth closed instantly after it was full, making it impossible for Vina to enter even if she wanted to. .
"So you came here in such a daze?" I looked at the Son of the Night helplessly and asked.
"Well, I've come in anyway, what else can I do?"
"Then there's nothing we can do!" Yinxue looked at me and said, "He's already here anyway, so even if we want to replace him, we can't. I think it's more serious for us to complete the task quickly."
After thinking about it, I had no choice but to accept the status quo, but a good and powerful combatant suddenly turned into a son of the night, which made me a little depressed. That's not to say that the Son of Night is useless. Considering the player's combat power level, the strength of the Son of Night is actually above the standard. But the problem is that this is a god-level mission. What’s the point of bringing a player with above average combat power? It's like someone who is very good at basketball in school, but if you take him to the NBA, will he be beaten to death? The Son of the Night may have no problem dealing with ordinary players, but if he encounters a god-level existence, his little strength will be enough to defeat him!
"How about I hide here?" The Son of the Night seemed unhappy to see me, and suggested with some embarrassment. After all, 99% of this accident was caused by him. At most, Weina's responsibility was that she failed to react in time to stop the car.
Although I'm a little depressed, I'm not to the point of blaming Nightborne yet. After waving my hand, I said: "Forget it, just come in. This mission does not count for completion anyway, and even if you die in battle, it will not affect the mission rewards. From now on, you will follow us, but you don't have to 'interject' when encountering a battle." Hands, just protect yourself."
"Okay, I promise not to cause any trouble to you." The child of the night knew that he had made a mistake, so he enthusiastically promised not to cause any trouble to us.
Since all the mission personnel have arrived and the mission scroll has appeared, the next step is to start the mission. Of course, the content of the task must be clarified before that.
What is written on the unfolded scroll is not a simple mission goal or something, but mission requirements. The goal of this mission is not fixed, as long as the mission requirements are met, and the requirements of this mission, as Yinxue said before, are directly related to the guy who has a contractual relationship with us.
"I didn't expect it to be such a mission. Fortunately, I didn't kill him just now." I said as I turned to the guy we threw aside. With the previous lessons, he is now much cuter than before. It is true to say that those who know the current affairs are heroes.
"Masters, look, now that your companions have been found, can I leave?" This guy now knows that he can't control us at all, so his only wish is to get away from us. The further away the better. It's like putting a nuclear bomb next to you. If it is controlled by you, that's certainly fine, but if the detonator is in someone else's hands, that's a different matter.
This guy is related to our mission, how could I let him go so easily? "Hey, do you want to leave so soon?" Seeing the guy's scared look, I deliberately pretended to be evil and continued to scare him. Anyway, this kind of person is a typical type of person who refuses to eat and drink as a penalty. Scaring him half to death is far more effective than politely saying nice things to him.
"Well, do you have any other instructions from the great gods?"
"Of course." I smiled and held out four fingers and said, "Since you have resurrected all four of us, then, in return, each of us can grant you one wish. The four of us plus one are four wishes. As long as the tasks you mentioned do not exceed our capabilities, we will definitely help you complete it. However..." I deliberately said in a long tone here: "Every time you make a wish, it cannot be changed. If this If we can achieve your wish, then we will help you complete it. If your wish is beyond our capabilities, then this wish will automatically be invalidated. So... you'd better not think about things that are beyond your reach. .Okay, now let’s tell your first wish. Oh, by the way, the preparation time for each wish is ten minutes. If you can’t make the wish within ten minutes, the wish will automatically be invalidated. So I suggest that while we help you fulfill your first wish, you also think about the subsequent wishes in an instant. Okay, the timer starts."
When he heard what I said, the guy was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't believe it, but it didn't look like we were making him happy, so he asked uncertainly: "Are you telling the truth?"
"You don't care if it's true or not, just come out and see if I can help you fulfill a wish."
I didn't expect that I would answer like this, but after thinking about it, it seemed that we really had no reason to deceive him, so he started to circle in front of us and desperately thought about this very important wish to him.
In fact, the mission we saw before was to help this guy fulfill four wishes. As long as all four wishes are used up and one of us is still alive, the mission is completed, and if he makes a wish beyond our capabilities If it causes the wish to be invalidated, it will be considered as our successful fulfillment of a wish.
It sounds like this task is not very difficult. Anyway, you don’t need to do tasks that are beyond your ability. All you need to do are tasks that are within your ability. Isn’t this simple? However, that is not the case. In fact, the scroll given by the Gate of Truth has a detailed introduction to the task rules, including the definition of beyond the scope of ability. This definition is actually quite narrow. It only includes items that we do not have the ability to do, such as conjuring a non-existent creature out of thin air. There are also things that are too much beyond our combat capabilities, such as asking us to eliminate everything in the world. Biological and other things, except for the above two, all tasks that can be completed by relying on our strength are not called abilities.
Because of the above reasons, although we put on a very scary face now, we are actually praying in our hearts that this guy will never "randomly" report his wishes. If he says that he wants to become a god in this world, then we might as well directly Declaring mission failure comes quickly.
I don’t know if it’s because our prayers took effect, or because the guy planned to waste a wish first to test whether the wish is true or false. In short, his first wish was rather stupid. This guy actually asked us for money.
"I want money. I want a lot of money." These were the boy's exact words.
Originally, I wanted to scold him for asking us to help him get money for being overqualified, but because I was worried that he would make future tasks more difficult, I resisted the temptation and pretended to be embarrassed instead: " This is not beyond our capabilities, it is just a bit inconsistent with our capabilities. But don’t worry, our credibility is guaranteed. Since you want money, then we will give you money. How much do you want? You have to have a specific number, right? And do you have any currency or equivalent items that you want? By the way, what do you use as currency?"
"Currency?" The guy quickly took out a bunch of things from his body and piled them in front of us and said, "This is our money here."
Peacock Pluto picked up a few of the coins and looked at them, and then said: "They are ordinary copper, silver and gold. The three currencies should represent three currencies with different values."
I asked the guy immediately after listening. "Can gold be used instead of gold coins?"
"Of course."
"Then how much do you want? If it's too much, it will be beyond our capabilities. You have to think about it."
"Hmm...one hundred thousand...oh no, eighty thousand, eighty thousand gold coins or the equivalent in gold will do. Isn't this out of range?" In fact, the guy kept staring at my eyes while shouting, but unfortunately his little Slickness doesn't work for me. He originally planned to look at my expression to judge the price increase, but as soon as he shouted 100,000, I made a surprised expression, which frightened him and quickly reduced the quantity, for fear that it would exceed the quota and the task would be cancelled.
"Eighty thousand is eighty thousand. Although it's a bit much, it's not an impossible task. Okay, you and Ye Zhizi wait here first, and we'll help you get the money."
After handing that guy over to the Children of the Night, we flew straight up. Of course, this trip is not specifically to get money for that guy. We also plan to have a general understanding of the environment here, otherwise the subsequent tasks will definitely be very troublesome. As for where the money came from... is there any need to ask? We can't mine and mint coins ourselves, right?
